Neutrophil extracellular traps promote angiogenesis in gastric cancer.

ABSTRACT: Although antiangiogenic therapy has been used in gastric cancer, disease progression due to drug resistance remains common. Neutrophils play an important role in the occurrence and progression of cancer via neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). However, few studies have investigated angiogenic regulation in gastric cancer. We aimed to determine the role of NETs in promoting angiogenesis in gastric cancer. Multiple immunohistochemical staining was used to analyze the spatial distribution of NETs and microvessels in patient tissue samples. A mouse subcutaneous tumor model was established to determine the effect of NETs on tumor growth, and changes in microvessel density were observed via immunohistochemical staining. We screened differentially expressed proteins in HUVECs stimulated by NETs
